I recently got to read Waypoint by Deborah Adams and Kimberley Perkins, and it was a great mix of likeable characters, cross-country trekking, technology hacking, romance, siblings, danger, and intrigue! All with a somewhat post-apocalyptic backdrop due to the widespread power outage. And to celebrate the book's release, I have something for you all that I've never had before on the blog: a...
I like to peruse Kickstarter sometimes and see if I can find anything good, and the other day I happened to stumble upon this graphic novel, Goldfinch Vol. 1. I haven't read it yet (since it's not out yet), but from what I can see, it's got a fantasy setting, gangsters, f/f romance, and gorgeous full-color art, and it looks super cute! If you're already interested, you can go support the project...

But representation is important, both in books and on the covers, and I love collecting pretty covers to share with you all, so I thought it would be a great idea to highlight some of the amazing covers out there...

My first post about sci-fi/fantasy books with no romance seems to be popular, so I figured everyone might appreciate some more recommendations! Romance is great and all, but sometimes it’s nice to read a story that’s about family, or growing up, or plain ol’ taking down bad guys.
